Katha Pollitt wrote about how the Left doesn’t seem to get that Assange can be a brave whistleblower and a sex offender at the same time. Update: he’s a whistleblower who also has really messed up attitudes about women in general.

nosex asked: back then i actually shot on a ten dollar reusable film camera i got @ walgreens. walgreens still runs this deal too: you buy the camera, it's plastic and super cheap (i think the lens might be plastic too)! but, if you develop and bring your film into walgreens, walgreens will reload the camera with super low quality 35mm film. the combination of cheapness sort of gave me a really unique...

I’m sick of having to defend my opinions on Feminist Lite™ blogs that pretty much center around reality TV and Disney child stars falling from grace. I’m looking to read more lifestyle-oriented blogs that aren’t entirely about politics, but also ones in which I won’t have to read about this celebrity’s ass or that dude’s problem with women “crying...

Critique of Pure Relationships: On Consent and... →
“We propose that in order to realize a truly liberated sexuality, the model of active consent must be applied not only to our personal interactions, but to our interactions with society as well. A truly liberated sexuality is one in which all aspects of our sexual identities—from our gender expression to our specific nuanced fetishes and desires, from our sexual orientation to our choice of...

Michael Lutin: Virgo 2011 Forecast →
Here’s a look at 2011:
what you still have to resolve: unclear work situations that demand spontaneity and unusual approaches, co-workers with big problems (WORD!)
what you have learned: your fantasies in relationships are not always consistent with the realities of the people upon whom you shower your love and affection (DOUBLE WORD!)
what you hope to find in 2011: sexual liberation,...

The Grand Lady Comics Creator Tumblr Census 2011 →
ladiesmakingcomics:
Feelings of blogger inadequacy, I haz them.
I feel like every now and then I’ll find like ten lady comics creators on Tumblr that I didn’t realize were on Tumblr, even if I know their work. I know there’s no way in the world for me to know everyone on the internet and their social networking handles, but I can’t help but feel bad about it. SO! If you are a lady comics...

Lilith: Channeling Anger || Evolutionary Astrology →
Over the last few years, I’ve been working on channeling my anger at the suppression of the feminine down creative avenues. It’s actually pretty hard – much harder than I anticipated. The thread of discontent in me runs incredibly deep, and since I’ve been doing work with clients to help them de-condition from ways of thinking, being, and living that are rooted in patriarchal culture, I’ve seen...

Repetitive facepalms over Naomi Wolf's commentary...
WHAT THE FUCK. WHAT THE FLYING FUCK?
I have no problem with people taking accountability for their actions. Especially during sex.
But why THE FUCK is it ALWAYS up to the VICTIMS to take responsibility for SOMEBODY ELSE’S violation of THEIR BOUNDARIES? No really. I just wanna know. I wanna know why a rapist can be interrogated all the damn time and all they are expected to do is DENY...

A word about not-feminists:
I think it’s a huge mistake to put all feminists under one monolithic umbrella. A careless mistake, even. The bit of postmodernist in me says that all feminists have different interpretations of what constitutes equality, rights, justice, and even what constitutes a feminist ideology. It’s why many feminists still struggle to further their causes.
So while these people are going on...
